Re: AHI went higher to 38 on second night of usage

No, I did not sleep well at all. Is it possible there was a leak that wasn't registered by the machine?

Re: AHI went higher to 38 on second night of usage

Thanks for your response. Forgive my ignorance. I'm a newbie, just getting started.

I have the Airsense 10 for Her Resmed machine. It is set to vary between levels 5 and 15.

Thanks!

On my second night of usage, my AHI per hour was 38 (which is higher than my testing AHI). My mask seal ...
